Hi, For the sake of consistency I'd like to use Synaptic to do all my package management.
I've placed http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fed... into the list of repositories.
When I click "Update list", I get the following error: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. It's never done that before.
Do I have the right URL? Has anyone upgraded KDE to 3.1.95 using Synaptic? - -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN Fedora Core 1 Uptime: 3 days, 5:52

No. The main fedora repository isn't apt-enabled (and thus wont work with synaptic either). The only apt-enabled development tree I'm aware of is at freshrpms, try this instead: -- URI: http://ayo.freshrpms.net Distribution: fedora/linux/development/i386 Section(s): core --

Ok, Panu, thanks for that tip. I did that, updated the list, and that worked fine, however when I chose to override the version of kde-base (from 3.1.4 to 3.1.95), Synaptic failed to download all the packages.
I guess I could wait a while and try again.
You didn't say whether you use Synaptic or not, I'm wondering if the default settings are sufficient for what I want to do?

Yep, the repository seems badly out of sync at the moment :( Not much one can do except wait a bit and try later again.

I occasionally use Synaptic for certain types of tasks where GUI really makes things easier but for most part I just use apt-get, simply out of preferring command line in general. No reason you couldn't use synaptic with out-of-the-box settings for all your package management tasks.
